4th Floor Common Room [Wednesday, Afternoon]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Somehow, senior year, Angela had ended up with fewer classes than ever. She would never complain about that one. Ever. But it left her with tonnes of free time. Which she probably could've been filling with prepping her portfolio for art school, but instead was... not.

What? It was the first week of semester. It was allowed.

She'd had her lie in, actually got dressed, and was finally sorting out some lunch for herself (making sandwiches, because she really just couldn't mess that up), and watching (and, okay, humming along to) the weird music videos on whichever channel she'd flipped to. Just how much drugs were the people who came up with these things on?

[[and open, like a common room is!]]

Hurley wandered into the common room, a boggled expression on his face.

"...Music videos got really weird in the past ten years," he said.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I hear it's all about impact," Angela commented, looking over at him with a grin. "Hey, Hurley."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"The impact I'm getting is more like 'Man, I wish this music was as good as the video!'," Hurley joked.

"Hey, man," Hannibal said, giving Hurley a wave. "How's things going?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley grinned. "Pretty, uhhh, good, dude."

The sounds drew Beka towards the common room. She'd never heard music quite like this one and she couldn't contain her curiosity. She'd expected a small band to be inside the room, not one girl without any sort of instruments.

"Where's that coming from?" she asked in confusion.

Pounce didn't seem to care a whole lot. His nose had picked up on food and always the mumper, he trotted over to inspect those sandwiches.

Angela pointed towards the TV with her free hand.

"Television," she supplied, and offered the cat a little piece of her ham. "Not from around here?" Just a wild guess. "Or now?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Pounce sniffed the food only once, then gobbled it down eagerly.

"Mumper," Beka muttered under her breath. The sarden cat was making her look like she hadn't fed him the whole day. "Both, I'm guessing," she said to Angela. "I'm Beka Cooper."

"Still dealing with the crowds?" Rose asked, giving Beka then Pounce a grin.

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I moved on to television," Beka replied.

Pounce purred and stood up from Beka's lap to greet Rose.

Hannibal didn't have a class until Friday so, knowing that, he'd sneaked off early this morning to try and attempt some super sappy sentimental anniversary thing (or one of the things he'd do).

Of course, Angela made it easy to find her when he spied her in the common room and he stuck that super sappy thing behind his back and wandered in.

"Hey, you," he said, grinning. "Being gourmet?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"As I ever am," she said, shooting a grin over her shoulder and giving a nod. "Ham and salad and bread has got to be gourmet to someone."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"It's gourmet to me," he said even if he did make a face at the salad. Ew, healthy food. "But toasted Pop Tarts are gourmet to me."

Mat could only stay in his own room for about twenty minutes before the wall color gave him a headache, so he was out for a wander.

Oooh. Pretty girl. Wandering can be over now!

He gave her a smile as his eyes drifted over to the television. "Burn me, what is that?"

Welcome to 'break in the new kids' time, Mat.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela grinned, recognising 'new kid' shine with just that one comment. "Television," she told him. That seemed to be the question of the day.

"You don't have that where you're from?" she assumed.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"No," Mat gaped. "What does it do?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"Sommat bound to give you a headache," Beka supplied. She'd taken a seat now and Pounce'd curled up in her lap.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"Well, there's not been a shortage of that in the past days," Mat said with a grin. "You should see the color of my room."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Haven't been scared away yet, huh?" Rose teased, grinning over at Mat as she came in.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat grinned back. "But then I wouldn't see you any more," he replied. "And that's too great a sacrifice to bear!"

In his experience, women always liked the flowery language.

Rose stared at the tv as she wandered into the Common Room. "Did they - are there goats in that video? What the heck?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You've never seen goats?" Hannibal asked, shooting her a grin. "And I thought you were worldly."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I'm from Montana," Rose said, grinning back. "We do horses and shit."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"And this is not the weirdest thing I've seen today," Angela assured her. "Music video creators have the scariest minds."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"It's like they're all 'oh noes we must be special!" Rose said, making a face. "And now they have goats dancing to rap."
